Who is James Ransone's alleged ex-girlfriend, Chloe Sevigny?

Chloe Sevigny is an American actress, director, and fashion designer widely recognised as a "style icon" and a central figure in independent cinema. She rose to fame in the 1990s after being dubbed the "coolest girl in the world" by The New Yorker. Chloe made a name for herself in the entertainment industry through roles in experimental and cult-favourite films. She made her film debut in the controversial 1995 drama, Kids. She received widespread critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of 'Lana Tisdel' in Boys Don't Cry (1999). Besides the movies, Chloe also found success in her television ventures.

Chloe won a Golden Globe in 2010 for her role as Nicolette Grant in the HBO series, Big Love. More recently, she starred in Ryan Murphy's Feud: Capote vs. The Swans (2024) and Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story (2024), the latter earning her a Primetime Emmy nomination. Chloe Sevigny began directing in 2016 with the short film, Kitty, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Her third short, White Echo, also competed at Cannes in 2019. Before her acting career, she was an intern and model for Sassy magazine. She has modelled for major brands like Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton. Chloe remains a prominent it-girl in the fashion world, known for her unique and influential personal style.

Why was Chloe Sevigny linked with James Ransone?

Chloe Sevigny and James Ransone were romantically linked briefly in 2008. The two sparked dating rumours after being photographed together at high-profile events during that year, most notably at the Los Angeles premiere of the HBO miniseries, Generation Kill. Ransone played the lead role of 'Cpl. Josh Ray Person' in the show, making his public appearances garner great buzz around that time. Reports described Chloe Sevigny and James Ransone's relationship as a short-lived fling rather than a long-term commitment.

Chloe and James were rumoured to have broken up within months of dating in late 2008. Sources suggested that the two of them moved on quietly after ending their whirlwind romance amicably. There was no drama around the alleged breakup, and both James and Chloe remained on good terms in the industry. Notably, their relationship and breakup are entirely based on public and tabloid claims, and neither actor has ever commented on the same. Chloe was James Ransone's most publicised speculated relationship. Besides her, he was also linked to other actresses, including Natasha Lyonne, according to jhajiseo.online.
